yo-yo is a tiny JavaScript library for building modular UI components using DOM diffing (via morphdom) and ES6 tagged template literals (via bel). It follows a 'data down, actions up' pattern and powers the choo framework.

Use cases

• build small modular UI components without React
• efficiently update DOM elements with diffing instead of a virtual DOM
• create standalone UI component modules publishable to npm
• write components using native ES6 template literals
• assemble a custom lightweight frontend framework from small modules

When to choose

• you want a tiny (~4kb) React-style component library
• you prefer real DOM diffing over a virtual DOM
• you want to build your own framework from swappable small modules
• you need to embed UI components in standalone npm packages

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured, actively maintained framework with large ecosystem support
• you require SSR or modern tooling integrations out of the box
• you need guaranteed long-term maintenance or a defined license
• you are starting a new large application today (consider choo or modern alternatives)
